The German-affiliated Harro Höfliger Hungary is expanding its site in Debrecen. The company plans to invest HUF 6 billion (approximately EUR 15 million) in the construction of a new production hall.
A quarter of the investment costs will be covered by the Hungarian government. This support will help create 100 new jobs in the eastern Hungarian city and boost production capacities for specialized electronic machinery for the pharmaceutical and packaging industries.
Thomas Heckner, CEO of Harro Höfliger, highlighted that the company has grown from a family-run business into a global enterprise. It now has 2,200 employees worldwide and an annual turnover of EUR 500 million. In early 2024, the company selected Hungary as its new expansion site.
